The best holiday gifts are the ones you make yourself. Levi’s® Tailor Masayuki Den from Japan shares a crafty way to create cool keychains out of old denim. They’re cute and easy enough for kids to pull off.
What you’ll need
- Old Denim
- Bandana
- Key ring
- String
- Ruler
- Scissors
- Marking chalk
Step 1
Lay old denim flat and draw thin lines using the ruler and chalk. Mark off 8-10 ribbons ½” wide and 12-14” long.
Step 2
Cut out denim ribbon pieces using scissors.
Step 3
Cut the bandana the same way you cut the denim, making an additional 3-4 ribbon pieces.
Step 4
Stack all ribbon pieces together and feed them through the hole of the key ring, making sure they are all the same length.
Step 5
Using string, tie the ribbons together tightly near the key ring. Cut off excess string.
Step 6
Once tied, twist and work the denim pieces together, causing them to fray slightly.
Step 7
To complete the look, twist each ribbon tightly, one by one to create a curl effect.
Step 8
Wrap it and give it to someone with a key to your heart.
